5-Bromouracil (BU) resembles thymine sufficiently that BU base-pairs readily with adenine in a DNA helix, and it can readily substitute for thy- mine in DNA replication. However, its electron distribution allows it to resemble cytosine sufficiently that BU can pair with guanine. Show how a few rounds of replication in the presence of BU could convert an A-T base pair to G-C, and identify the products of each round of replication.
